Okay, the new Gmail icons? That does *not* look like a garbage can, or a file folder/box, and what on earth does stop sign with a ! mean?

On the other hand, the new Gmail lefthand sidebar? Much improved.

Home, after a quite productive plane ride. Now a quick spot of cleaning, a quick load of laundry, and some Sunday evening laziness.

Oh, amazing. My late-2008 i Mac had gotten crazy slow lately. Spotted MacFUSE in system prefs & wondered, what's that doing there? +

Sat Nov 26 17:06:34 +0000 2011


Slowing my computer down ridiculously, is apparently what. -

Sat Nov 26 17:06:50 +0000 2011


Replying to @bigjondaniel

Nope. There was apparently an incompatibility between MacFUSE and Lion that poured molasses over the processors.

It's apparently a file system manager used by things like Parallels. http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/

That is next on the agenda, if things slow down again. In the meantime, a good weeding & OnyXing.

My sense is that Parallels may reinstall it, but I'm not sure.

In fact, that comment led Holbo to ask me to guest-post, and that post got me an email from the folks at if:book. It all started there.

Crazy. I think there are a number of PO posts that pre-date that comment, but the audience for them was way smaller.

I will confess that there's something a little heartbreaking in the notion that six years have passed and the comment still holds.
